(#10) Mavericks - (#7) Rockets Series

I said before this was one of my top three first round match-ups I wanted to see, not because I think these games will be close, but because I really want to see how a lineup featuring Olajuwon, Moses Malone, Yao, and Ralph Sampson plays out. This should be interesting, so here we go:

Player of the Game

Dirk Nowitzki (Ultimate Mavericks)

Well, in an upset I never saw coming, the Mavericks take down the quad towers of Houston four games to three. Maybe too much of a good thing at one position for all of those guys to thrive for the Rockets. But I guess that's why we say that old cliche, "That's why we simulate the games." Let's see if Mark Cuban's ultimate fantasy can continue with an upset of the Spurs next round.
